i was woken up by the phone this morning, which was a good thing, because i was having a creepy dream about cannibalism, probably inspired by listening to fast food nation on audiobook and watching a travel show in which they ate all sorts of curious meats. interestingly, sheep's testicles are less disgusting than american hamburger is, as described in the book i'm reading.

Yup. Named after the lead singer's hometown. I didn't make it to the show, though. I was hungry after seeing the movie, so I had dinner instead. (Movie, btw, was just okaaaay.

I had the most wonderful bottle of cabernet last night (well, one glass of it). I am coming to understand that there's nothing wrong with a screw cap. It feels weird for a while, but then you taste the wine, and you realize that it's not automatically Mad Dog just because it has a screw cap.

Best quote while setting this up, from my friend Seth: "You can shower at my work, so you don't have to pay for it." Because there's generally not indoor plumbing in the houses there, there are bath houses (not that kind of bath house... or maybe it is, I don't know how they roll there) for the whole town to use.

And 6.5 of those hours were "reading the handbook" and I don't even know what the fuck that means. But it's not billable client stuff.

I remember doing mushrooms with him and some other people on Eeyore's B-day in Austin on year, and we were all off our heads pretty good, and some guy walked up to Mark and said, "You're the devil. I can see it in your eyes." Which fucked with all of us, but not as bad as when some totally different guy later walked up to Mark and said THE EXACT SAME THING. We kinda chalked it up to being some elaborate prank by people setting out to fuck with tripping people, or maybe just the kind of weird coincidence that only happens on hallucinogens. But as it turns out, he actually WAS the devil.

Jeff's right, though, about the logo being very, very bad. With that, I don't think it matters what font you use, it's going to look like a card with a horror of a logo on it.

i kinda went to a party friday. went to ronny's saturday night, dan martin was there as was a pig carcass. i tore pig ribs off said carcass with my bare hands and had the most savagely satisfying pork for pizza ever. went to a 4 o'clock bar around 2:30 and walked into a bachelorette party. the 4:00 bar was still serving me at 4:30, i left around 5, saw a rat run across chicago avenue. ate bacon, eggs and pancakes at a diner at chicago and western around 5:30 with polish day laborers and 2 drunk girls. one was named april and she was very chatty. that night i had a dream about santa claus. sunday i slept in, watched football, then burned 3 albums to put on my itunes.

On Friday I went to see the Fake Fixxiones rock the house at Alliance. On Saturday I spent the afternoon writing. I also watched Tristam Shandy (clever but not particularly entertaining) and then steeled myself to drive out to the suburbs for the BIG REUNION. Which was: hmmm, kind of fun, but also really weird and somewhat disappointing, too, because for all the people who were there that I was like "OMG that guy" there were twice as many who I wished were there. There were maybe 40-50 overall out of a graduating class of 300-something? But whatever: I got drunk on gin-and-tonics and heard this gaggle of girls say in disbelief, as I was heading outside, "John smokes?" (My goodie-goodie rep hasn't left me.) Then yesterday Kr and I did laundry and then went to see Nina Nastasia (boring, although I think EZ likes her?) and Jose Gonzalez (totally captivating) at the Lakeshore Theater. THE END.

I figured someone would say something like this. I dunno. I certainly had desires to be worldly and sophisticated that probably weren't matched by the majority of my peers, but I also really loved the community that high school created, and I liked knowing who everyone was and what they were all about. I mean, the roots of the whole "jaymc's spreadsheet" meme can probably be traced back to when I ran for National Honor Society secretary, and my campaign speech was basically like, "I'll be good at keeping track of our members, because I already know all of your birthdays." (In fact, I surprised a few people the other night by saying things like "...so Jermaine, you'll be 28 in a couple days, won't you?") My friend Adam and I made up bizarre animal-related nicknames for teachers, kids in our classes, people involved in theatre with us -- and I made crossword puzzles where all the answers were inside jokes about such people and wrote a song about some weirdo in my gym class. We were stupidly competitive about our class rank and gossiped endlessly. So I mean, I had a lot of affection for this community, and after a while, you think of yourself as one with it. That's why I didn't even think twice about going to the reunion.

That's an interesting dichotomy. I supposedly contribute to the world through my job, my band, etc., but don't feel any happier for it than when I was doing my own work and receiving individual praise for it and getting a sense of accomplishment that collaborative endeavors can't match.

2. satisfaction of someone else (professor), toward a meaningless end (grades and/or pat on the head from one's "elders and betters")
Ideally, the satisfaction should be shared by you and the professor, especially in classes you like. And I didn't see grades and pats on the head as meaningless, since they boosted my self-esteem and motivated me to continue doing good work. I would love to feel valued and inspired by my "elders and betters," to have the same kind of mentor I had in Gail Gr1ff1n at this time in my life.

Oh, I did some of that, too -- I mean, I frequently talked back to teachers that I thought were full of shit (and a lot of them were), but I also bought into the whole "these are the days you'll remember" thing. I was nostalgic for high school the day I graduated.

no one joined anything at our high school. our senior class advisor was this ancient social studies teacher who told us he'd never seen a more apathetic group in his life. we didn't even care enough about each to other to form cliques.
For me HS was something to be endured
same here, it was a prelude to a big nebulous something else. like a four year taxi down a runway. oh, and of course high school also means infidelity and bad lunches but that goes without saying, doesn't it?

The driver's ed situation in more detail: There was supposed to be a two-hour Homecoming assembly at the end of the day, but at about noon it was cancelled because the school had received a threat of gang violence, and everyone was told that we'd remain in our 6th period class for the rest of the day instead. Since 6th period for me was driver's ed, I was like fuck this. (To be fair, I didn't realize that we were going to have a quiz, which I then received a zero on and had to scramble to get my grade back up to an A by the end of the semester, or else I'd probably have reconsidered.) I asked myself where I'd rather be during 6th period, and I thought, Well, EJ has another section of AP English right now. I showed up, explained myself, and she was like, "All right, JC, as long as you know what you're getting yourself into," and the class -- many of whom I was friends with (as opposed to the mouth-breathing sophomores in driver's ed) spent the rest of the day talking about current events and stuff.
(Ha, xpost: Dan and I both used the word "mouth-breathing.")

What I hated was all the teenagers around me. I had 2 or 3 friends throughout my high school career, and even they didn't last. I didn't even take part in lunch, but instead sat in the library writing, stealing books and cutting pages out of the encylopedia. (I still have a color wheel from the World Book.)
Looking back this is probably bad because I was actually suffering from a pretty serious depression. Also religion was ruining my life because I would have probably joined some kind of club but I wasn't allowed to go to Saturday meetings.
xpost-- I had a good rep with the teachers too. I got to use the faculty bathroom.

1. Nov. 22 is my birthday. Come here then.
2. I want to have Thanksgiving at our house. I want you all to come over, and your mothers, too. But, there is not enough room at our house for everyone to come over - there is barely room for six or seven. SO... I will be happy to help plan/come cook at someone else's house where there is more room. Otherwise, I think we'd be better off going to Simon's all day like we did two years ago.

Jeff and I have watched the first four episodes of season two and sent back another movie unwatched so we could get more MORE MORE BSG discs. I loved the pilot, was ready to give up on the show by the time the Tom Zarek episode rolled around, and then got all caught up in it again by the time we got to the season one finale.
There's some pretty lofty shit happening. I hope they can carry it through.

I think at this point the basic sci-fi setting is so entrenched that it's not so different a starting point than here & now. Meaning, saying "okay, it's the future and there are space ships and humans living on different worlds" isn't a big deal, it's "okay, it's the future and there are space ships AND here's the hook". Although if those tropes really bother you than that's something else (I forget, have you read any Delany?).

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
I also felt very confident about my answers, reprazent.

I don't know how I say horrid. As I sit here in the computer lab whispering "harrid... whore-id" to myself, they both sound right to me.
I got South second to midland if I said that "pin" and "pen" sound similar. The fact that I could go either way there is, I believe, entirely attributable to Jeff. Anecdotally, a WV cousin of mine thought my name was "Ginny" until we ten or eleven because he'd never seen my name written out and "Ginny" and "Jenny" sound the same coming from people with southern accents.

I'm suggesting (and this is what I think Webster's is doing) that the O in "bore" is not a unique sound -- it the "aw" of "bought" plus an R.

The IPA can be used to describe any language, which is why it's handy when doing phonological transcriptions or interpreting phonological transcriptions of languages that we may or may not know. If you know the IPA and you see a transcription of a language you have no idea how to pronounce, it gives you everything you need to pronounce the word. It won't tell you what it means or how it's written (its orthography) but it will give you an idea of how to say it. You can also analyze patterns that way. It's also why it's futile to try to describe sounds as "flat" or "weak" or "wrong" or by using other vague/subjective adjectives. The IPA uses places and means of articulation to determine the differences between sounds.

So, today my old boss (who is way cool) and the two other guys I work directly with were going to go have lunch, bullshit, piss & moan, have a beer or two, etc. Well, today one of the higher-ups is in town, and co-opted our lunchtime. So, instead, we were going to lunch with my new boss, the higher-up, and a couple others. This option was slightly less appealing to me, but still, the prospect of a free lunch somewhere new was enticing.
So, I was sitting around waiting for a particularly nasty file to distill, and I heard people getting ready to go behind me. I figured they'd say "hey, let's go" when they were ready, and we'd go. Then I looked around and EVERYONE is gone. I got completely ditched! Now I don't have a clue what to do... I think I know where they went, but it's a ways away, I don't have my car, so I can't just go over there. What do I say when they get back? I'm fucking pissed about this.

Little of both, my friend.
Granted, I've only heard London Calling, but I really only like a few of those songs, like the title track, "Spanish Bombs," "Train in Vain," and "Lost in the Supermarket." And "Rock the Casbah" is obv. great. But there's also plenty of Clash songs that just sound like uninteresting bar-rock to me.
― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link
I wholeheartedly believe later Clash records are mostly for shit (Cut the Crap, for example) but playing the "overrated" card based on a single album is kind of feeble, no? Not that I think you'd like their first record more (it does having some "uninteresting bar-rock" tunes) but it's also got a few that are true gems.
Rock music John doesn't like = uninteresting bar rock? It's a trend I've noticed.

I liked Stand by Me a lot, even though it wasn't that scary.
Let's see... taking camp value and nostalgia as well as actual goodness into account, my list would go:
The Shining*, **Carrie*CreepshowChildren of the CornStand by MeThe Dead ZoneChristineShawshank RedemptionMaximum OverdriveFirestarterMiseryPet Sematary (sic)Salem's Lot
Anything not on this list means not even camp or nostalgic value could save it from being utter crap. Inclusion on this list doesn't automatically exclude the film from being utter crap, either; it just means I have a soft spot for it.
*These movies would be in a top ten favorite movies list, regardless of Stephen King's involvement.**Kenan does have a point, though, since Stephen King for some reason decided he had to remake this movie into a total steaming turd because he believed Kubrick somehow got it wrong.

But here, it's like the only game in town. It's big, it's cheap, it has free wireless. It's full of people from about 5 PM untill 11. Then the drunk people spill out of the place and the social strata of the town becomes clear. Certain people walk out and go to one bar, some other people go to a different one, and a few go home. It's really weird, and god damn I'm drunk.

Eating steaks in Argentina feels like joining a cult. You find yourself leaning on friends to come visit, and writing YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND in all caps more often than feels comfortable. Argentine beef really is extraordinary. Almost all of this has to do with how the cows are raised. There are no factory feedlots in Argentina; the animals still eat pampas grass their whole lives, in open pasture, and not the chicken droppings and feathers mixed with corn that pass for animal feed in the United States. Since this is the way of life a cow was designed for, it is not necessary to pump the animal full of antibiotics. The meat is leaner, healthier and more flavorful than that of corn-fed cattle. It has fewer calories, contains less cholesterol, and tastes less mushy and waterlogged than American meat. And the cows spend their lives out grazing in the field, not locked into some small pen. You can taste the joy.

Urgh. I can't decide. I do like Leanne. Also, I am a Miss Priss because I like having my hair washed and all those little extra posh things. Bbut also, maybe I just can't afford my own standards. Also, Nick gets his hair cut at Big Hair. Bbut also, he's a boy with a basic boy haircut. I think I need to sleep on this one.

1. You only get your hair cut two or three times a year.2. It's better to go to an expensive stylist you trust than end up with a crappy, cheap haircut that you'll have to pay the expensive stylist to fix anyway.3. You don't want to make L3anne cry.4. It's not like you get manicures/massages/pedicures/facials so this if your one splurge is getting a good haircut from someone that you like and trust, NO BIGGIE.5. A good hair cut is the foundation for a polished and professional look.

Oh and here is a horrible story, in case the justifications weren't enough:
I used to pony up to get a good haircut at a nice salon in Atlanta but then I lost my job so I went to a cheaper place and got a haircut for free by the shampoo guy who was going to hair school and he gave me a TERRIBLE haircut that sent me down the road to haircut ruin that lasted for TWO YEARS. Now you can have my beloved Valerie B when you pry her off my cold, dead hair.

I believe we've been over this, actually.
HORRIBLE: h[O with a dot over it]r-[schwa]-b[schwa]lWHORE: h[O with a dot over it]r
where [O with a dot over it] = like the AW in LAW
There are alternate pronunciations for each word:
HORRIBLE: h[A with a diaresis]r-[schwa]-b[schwa]lWHORE: h[U with a dot over it]r
where [A with a diaresis] = like the O in MOP or the A in MARand [U with a dot over it]r = like the OO in FOOT
But these are both listed second in Webster's, which leads me to stand firm in my belief that HORRIBLE and WHORE have the same vowel sound.

horrible = [hawr-uh-buhl, hor-]

So unless "all" or "talk" can be pronounced with the same "o" sound as "whore," then I and the East-Coasters stand validated by dictionary.com.

They are indeed pronounced the same. People get confused by the R, which changes the way you vocalize the sound, but the vowels in HORRIBLE and WHORE and OR are closest to an \AW\ sound than anything else.
The way East Coasters say HORRIBLE and ORANGE is closer to an \AH\ sound.

I like WW as a program. I do not like WW as a company as they tend to really nickle and dime you the fuck to death. And the last six or eight meetings I've been to ended up nothing more than hour-long sales pitches for more WW products.
Getting all that shiny new WW stuff tends to motivate me, though, and there is a benefit to the camaraderie of the meetings.

Points are calculated based on some complicated algorithm that looks at fat, fiber, and calories and while you do have to look things up at first, it starts to become second nature after awhile. For example, while I am technically not "on program" right now, I happen to know that I've eaten 14 points so far today, including the apple I'm going to eat during class tonight, leaving me 8 for dinner.
I have successfully done WW on line and using meetings, so it really depends on what fits into your schedule. I find meetings to be more palatable when I go with someone I like, but that can backfire, too (see Courtney and I enabling some v. bad food practices for each other) so, yeah.
I think that the potential for exacerbating food obsession is pretty accurate, but if you've got a handle on that kind of thing going into it, you should be okay. Sometimes, like now, I can't handle life stress plus keeping track of everything I eat, especially when I don't have a lot of time for cooking/packing lunch, but I have generally been pleased with WW.

Homer: You know! It's not... usual. If there was a law, it'd be against it!
Marge: Oh Homer, please! You're embarrassing yourself.
Homer: No I'm not, Marge! They're embarrassing me. They're embarrassing America. They turned the Navy into a floating joke. They ruined all our best names like Bruce, and Lance, and Julian. Those were the toughest names we had!

"Like rock, legal work is full of power and passion."
"Like rock troubadours, we are doing our job. We are at the same time stewards of the establishment and it's demanding critics."
"The democratic vision of rock and roll is a tough one for lawyers, but if we want to rock, it's got to be part of the package."
These quotes were illustrated with in-concert clips of Jimi Hendrix. After the movie, a student asked, "Did this movie just tell us that if we do drugs, we'll be better lawyers?"

My cat is locked in the bedroom, and Jessa's cat has suddenly decided to eat, shit, and let me pet her for the first time since she got here. This does not bode well for the next month. UNLESS, maybe, Jessa's cat can mark enough territory while my cat is locked away that they'll have some equal ground. I'm going to leave her in there until bed tonight and see if this helps the situation any.

Nick and I were watching Big Love last night on dvd, and there's this scene where a little girl is in her living room at night and turns on the porch light and a creepy dude is standing RIGHT THERE. Anyway, of course that gave me nightmares because everything does. So I had one in which people kept breaking in the windows to our apartment like zombies, except really tall and strong zombies. It was not fun. I didn't shoot anyone, but I think I tried to punch them to no avail.

The only thing is that it's going to cost $50/person. Open bar all night, plus appetizers/snacks/champagne, so I guess it's worth it, but I'm used to paying like a $10 cover and then doing the cash bar, which even if you have like 5 beers still works out to only $35.
If anyone feels like shelling out that much money, you're welcome to come. As per tradition, I'm probably going to be making a couple of iPod playlists -- a Best of '06 mix and an all-time awesome dance mix.

That rules. Edinburgh on NYE is supposed to be awesome. My dad and I traveled around England and Scotland for a few days around New Year's '98, but we lacked the foresight to do NYE in Edinburgh. Instead, we stayed at an inn in York and watched a Frasier marathon. The next day we took a train to Edinburgh and marveled at all the detritus on the ground from the previous night's festivities.

xp sounds like uh every time i try to drink.
i haven't had a good NYE for a while. the last one was probably staying in manhattan with my sis and bro in law, going out for a really fancy dinner and then getting drunk at home and playing scrabble (i only had a few sips, but wooo am i a lightweight). i beat them at scrabble (naturally), but then they got into a discussion of something political/racial and i wanted to argue with them, but was too woozy to articulate much of anything.

I dreamed that there was a highrise condo for X-Men mutants, and on top was a football arena--with 5 fields atop one another--that would be the launching point for a "week-long, world-wide, air, land, and water" Mutant Superbowl.
The team leaders included The Terrorist, 1 of two cute little twin girls with pancake makeup who had a pet hyaena, some guy who used a lot of kinves, and some guy who could fly.
The twin girl who was not the leader had the hyaena eat the other girl so she could lead, but it would only do so after she stabbed her sister with pointy scissors. Then the hyaena smeared the blood of the team mascot--a plush pink bunny--on the windows.

I am kind of sad at how my last couple of dates went, sartorially speaking--both with regar to myself, and moreso my dates. Can anyone fucking try to dress up anymore?? (Granted the first guy was a loser, and the 2nd wore his working class status on his wrinkled threadbare sleeve and we went to a movie and coffee, respectively.)
I want to be a better-dressed person. But it's hard when you dress the same every day for work (as a waiter does) and when you don't really go anywhere that would require dressing up.

I am not very skilled at dressing myself. Someone should dress me for best results.

Drinking:Springwater = great dive bar, with a certain danger element thrown in.Red Door West = pretty good. It's the kind of bar where someone will correct you if you don't use both their first names (i.e. "It's not just Billy. It's Billy WAYNE.")Yazoo Brewery Pub = great! but open at odd times.The Villager = right in Hillsboro village. Fun and dive-y, but full of Vanderbilt students (yuck).
Coffee:Fido -- Hillsboro Village -- used to be an old pet shop (still has the sign)Bongo Java on Belmont -- It's got a nice porch and the coffee is pretty great. Try a Paleta as well (mexican popsicles -- delicious)
East Nashville is a whole 'nother can of worms, but equally as fun.

The Great Escape is on 21st Avenue (sort of parallel to Upper Broadway). TONS of used records/cds of all types. One of my now-coworkers took me there on my interview lunch and I decided then that I could happily live in Nashville.
Grimey's is on 8th Avenue. It's got vinyl and cds, but beware of the instore, that might block the funk/reggae/new releases record section.
Phonoluxe is over on Nolensville Road (next to an awesome Mexican restaurant -- La Hacienda), and it's all used stuff, and a bit pricey. But, if you're looking for Dolly Parton's entire oeuvre on vinyl, that is the place to find it.

This is going to be fun, I've never been to a "real" bachelor party before. Supposedly it's going to start with 40s and Wii games (4 player style, we're big nerds) and end with shooting shit with a 20 gauge. We're not really strip club types, but we want to find the most comically bad stripper possible just for lolz somewhere in there too. From the bride-to-be's assesment, that shouldn't be tough.

This is a nice little neighborhood (Roscoe Village). This is my el stop twice a week, on days when I have band practice.
There's a Whole Foods a block away from that el stop. Also a few blocks away from Hard Boiled, an indie record store and video outlet specializing in Hong Kong cinema, owned by a mild-manner British chap named Mark. And Victory's Banner, a very good Buddhist vegetarian breakfast place.

They put on Smashing Pumpkins or Hole or Nirvana, because these bands actually mean something to them.

Maybe it was ZWANN.
Heh, one of the dudes in my band started a rumor about another friend that he's a really big Zwann fan, and got really upset when they broke up. You should try it with someone you know, it's fun.

once a year there's a fundraiser for the flw home & studio where the owners of the houses will let the tour come INTO the house so you can see the interior details but that's big $$$ (relatively) and i've never gone.
but the tour is fun, if the weather is crappy you can always take the tour of the home and studio, it's interesting, indoors, and gives you some insight into flw.

What is zune?
Amanda, did you notice I made pumpkin bread? I'm so proud of my newfound cooking abilities. You should post recipes on the blog more often so I can try some out. I made your fruit crisp back when you posted it...or emailed it to me... can't remember.
I'm so jealous of the staying in tomorrow! On the other hand, I get to break out my snow boots.
I remember when we first moved here and it snowed alot and I was thinking, Wow! They must get a ton of snow days here! Then I learned that most places never close due to snow and I cried and cried.
I'll be up for TT next week, but also yous guys could come to our show for free and drink there Monday.

I did notice that you made pumpkin bread. I'm glad you have discovered that cooking isn't that hard (it's not) -- you just need to have the ingredients and desire to put them together. Yay! I use the J of C basic cookie recipe for cookies and then adapt as I please. Usually I am too lazy to type it out and post though. :(

2. Devon does not smell like seafood. Good seafood restaurants never do. Courtney and I discussed how it would make a great TT place, but we were concerned that we might have a poor turnout because some people might think it was too pricey. Drinks are about normal. No $6 buckets of PBR, but not over the top either. The apps make it all worthwhile.
3. Snow. That's ok with me I guess. I don't care.
4. Amy S. signed my Strangers w/ Candy DVD.

She wrote on her ass "I'm thinkin bout pussy" (because she's lusting after the girls in the background, you know) and scratched out "thumbs" from "two thumbs up" and wrote "dicks."
The hispanic guy in front of us in line said "I wanted you to sign my ass," to which she replied, "No, I need a flat surface and everybody knows you Mexicans have those big asses. Sorry, it's late and I'm punchy. And racist."

Here in a single chorus he expresses not only a feeling of personal emptiness, but spits bile in the face of the very record companies that sustained him. The song also suggests a national emptiness brought on by the heartless greed of the Reagan years.

Yup, he's written a bunch of pop-country songs, actually.
Some theatre professor at my college who retired before I had the pleasure of taking a class from him was apparently good friends with Richard Marx -- as in RM was the guy he called when he was visiting Chicago and looking for a place to stay.

The bus was SO crazy this morning. It was the most packed I've ever seen it. An old czech lady was smushed between a bookbag and the door. A huge jerkoff refused to move out of the way for people and kept saying, "I'm from east LA! You best not mess with me! Stop shoving! I'm for real!" Every time we stopped, I had to jump back off the bus and into a pile of slush to let people out. It was all very dramatic.
Anyway, now I'm at my desk listening to Wilco.

I said I was calling in sick for the morning, but then I hedged and mumbled something about car trouble. I should know by now that my boss is a nice guy but he's strictly by the book, and you must be SICK to take a sick day. He was all "well, accounting doesn't allow you to use that time for anything other than being sick, so...".
Basically I'm forced to lie so he has plausible deniability, I guess, not that anyone would ever question it.

I am reading a nonfiction book about the birth and the eventual death of the universe. It's actually really readable, but I'm still having trouble motivating myself to read it because I've gotten lazy about having to think about what I'm reading. It's all sciencey.
I want to read the new Pynchon, as well as this novel called "Measuring the World" by some German author, and that poisons book that Laurel mentioned, but I have all 3 on my amazon wishlist so I have to wait until after xmas and see if anyone gets any of them for me.

Here is an excerpt from an embarassing college paper I just read online that made me laugh and laugh:The orchid has even known to be erotic and influence sexuality. This species makes people just do the strangest things that somewhere in the world there has to be at least two people that have experienced love from their magnificence. I wouldn’t be surprised if two humans overlooking a genus of orchid became so moved by its presence that both were aroused to initiate intercourse; thus creating life and pollinating the world. It may be a little far fetched, however, in life, especially with orchids, there is nothing but flowering possibilities.

but my arm isn't that good so if you want to partake, star walking.

And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled, As it ran light, or had to bear a load. And nothing happened: day was all but done. Call it a day, I wish they might have said To please the boy by giving him the half hour That a boy counts so much when saved from work.
This piece is great, but so much better on a re-reading, with knowledge of the end:
They listened at his heart. Little—less—nothing!—and that ended it. No more to build on there. And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

And then I came home and watched "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," which is my second favorite Hollywood musical. Sexist? Oh, hell yeah. On one level it's ludicrously sexist, but that's all parody. On a deeper level it's good ol' fashioned 50's sexist, and that's harder to swallow. But know that going in, and it's just marvelous. The songs are great, and I sing them in the shower sometimes. ("Bless your beautiful hide / Wherever you may be.") The dance numbers are so great that they made me a little misty, no joke. There are not a lot of movies that make me choke up because of how unrepentantly JOYOUS they are. They don't make those at all anymore.
The #1 musical, though, is always "Singin' In The Rain," which I watched on Thursday night. And yeah, I don't know what it is that makes me get all misty when Donald O'Connor does "Make 'em Laugh," but it gets me every time. It's a totally different kind of misty than at the end of "It's A Wonderful Life"; less sappy but somehow more nostalgic. It's not tugging at the heart strings, but it's tugging at something. It's a feeling of, "Now THIS... this is perfection."

No joking. Seems like with all the Brown Line crap, if you live north of Belmont, your arrival time to work is in the hands of the Transit Gods. Even leaving the house early does not guarantee anything.
Last night was blazing hot, as it is now too.
See, my trouble is that when it's 40 outside, they leave the heat just as cranked as if it was 20. My skin turns to parchment and my cats begin to char around the edges. But when it's 20, it's juuuust right.

I am aware of that, but the outside temp has a direct impact on the temperature of the temperature indoors. So when it's 40, it doesn't get cold enough inside to turn on the heat. But when it's coooold, it comes on and never turns off. The fact that it never turns off is kind of odd: is there no heat source in the room with the thermostat?

I found it odd that such an old woman would be so reluctant to turn the heat on. Aren't old women supposed to be cold all the time?

Mango Splitter:The OXO Mango Splitter is one of those rare kitchen gadgets that actually works. Try as we might, we couldn’t round up a mango that it couldn’t handle, and the mango splitter never left extra fruit on the pit by overestimating the pit’s size.

I know, I know, I'm sorry guys, but I got home to an ice-cold apartment (our thermostat is broken now, though the furnace works) and the one of the water heaters in the basement spewing water. That necessitated a lot of landlord interaction and moving of stuff (to escape the soaking), and by the time it was done I didn't feel like doing anything. Also, I couldn't feel anything because my hands and toes were frozen. Getting out of bed this morning was really, really hard. It should be fixed this afternoon but wow, what a pain in the ass.

Deodorant stains on your shirt: If you mean the white streaks that can happen if you don't employ the roll-and-duck method of putting on a shirt, you can usually wipe those off with a damp towel. Toothpaste stains can ruin my day, however.

I am in close proximity to too many people who would judge me for stinkin' to even attempt to stop wearing deodorant. I do pretty well with the all natural kind, unless it's super duper hot. Then I have to pull out the big guns, especially if I'm wearing a suit or man-made fiber shirt.

Think about what's on your iPod. You have your favorite songs you play over and over, but every once in a while, you're in the mood to hear something you haven't played in a long time. You don't need to hear it but once every month or so, but still, you appreciate the changeup.
Women are like iPods. I've never thought of it like that. What a refreshing perspective.
i've known way more women to cheat than dudes.
Yeah, I was gonna say. Well, not way more, but God, how old is this stereotype, anyway?

can I admit I'm not sure how "courtesy" flushing is different than just flushing?
― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link
Men cheat because they are biologically compelled to (whereas women are biologically compelled, to paraphrase Lisa Jervis, use their vaginas as fly paper in which to trap wedding rings); they are bored with their current sex lives (read: once women trap said men, they stop liking to fuck and so on some level deserve to be cheated on); they are too emotionally stunted to maturely end a relationship; or a clever iPod-analogy rehash of the biological compulsion.
Now, as a woman, I find a lot to object to in that article. My question to you mens is whether you find those so-called biological gender imperatives equally as oppressive? I mean, doesn't it piss you off to be told again and again that you're not much more than a giant, erect penis thrusting about, searching for a home? And that you're immature, to boot?

Society vilifies, belittles, humitates, insults, debases and verbally abuses MEN in order to bolster the frail FEMALE ego. Does anybody realy think that the girls don't go out looking for it too? I have a friend who ruined 3 marriages because SHE couldn't stay away from MEN. She once told Me that She had slept with over 1500 MEN (and several hundred WOMEN). Is SHE on trial? I'm neither a "Greek God" nor a "stud" but even so I have slept with 7 MARRIED WOMEN (All of whom were friends {and still are}) because THEY asked Me to! Promiscuity is equally inherent in both sexes. If You want to sell books all You have to do is to appeal to Female vanity (much the same way as you would if you wanted to bed them down), and blame men for all things reprehensible.

2) I would look on AMG under "vocal pop" or "American popular song" for direction. It shows me "Academy Award Winning Songs [year-year]" is a good option as well as looking for collections based on composer versus singer.
But I am more into the singer than the composer - I would rather just listen to the work of one singer who I particularly like, but that's me. I would put links in but 1) i don't remember how and 2) my wrist hurtz.

Yeah, I guess this is my thing, is I don't know a whole lot about specific pre-rock singers because I haven't heard very much of them. I just played the tunes on the piano. People like Fitzgerald and Sinatra are exceptions because almost everyone's heard them, but I only know Ella's version of "The Lady is a Tramp" that Horseshoe brought up because Kelsey put it on a mix CD for me like three years ago. (And I was only able to make the Mark E. Smith comparison because I just listened to it on my iPod.)

You're probably right. It doesn't sound much like Ella, now that I think about it. I just realized that you didn't give me a track list, so I had to make up the tags in iTunes when I imported it.

From the comments: "I didn't really agree with the whole 'guys don't like to cuddle' thing.. but I can understand why a lot of guys don't."
She can understand that? I can't. Girls are soft and warm. However, I do agree with the part about falling asleep all intertwined. I have to be pretty wiped out to pull that off, and even then, once I'm good and asleep, I'm likely to have a rude "stop touching me" episode that I won't remember.

9. Whining when he pushes your head down on his cock instead of stroking your hair. Know why he's pushing, skippy? Because you aren't doing it right, and have apparently ignored the other clues he's given you. Pay attention to the signals that he's sending you.
This reader's response
1. "Because you aren't doing it right" is not necessarily true; sometimes it's just fun to push and thrust (for the receiver as well as the giver of fellatio).
2. It's so fucking annoying to receive bad head from a guy. Guys (on guys) don't have much of an excuse: unless you have never received a decent BJ, you should be able to perform at least some reasonable reporduction of the technique you enjoyed, ding-dong. The problem is either the giver is a bit dense, lacks interest in the job, or is uncoordinated. Or has never received good head--but if you're with me then that is unequivocally not the problem.
3. It seems like there is a steeper learning curve for straight sex. Thus, #2.

I dunno. I think they're both about half right, and I don't hate either of them. But maybe that's because I can only have the perspective of one sex at a time. Maybe if I could morph like a Moorcock character.

Also, I renewed my ChicagoCard Plus last Thursday and it worked 1 time and then stopped. I re-renewed it on Saturday and see that I was charged $75, but it still was inactive! I called customer service where I held for 10 minutes. The CSR said "You were supposed to wait 3 days after renewing before using your card. Because you didn't, your card deactivated. I'll reactivate it, but don't use it for three days." WHAT???? Has anyone else ever heard of this??????

Moi aussi. Another big shout-out to the kind folks who gave me this big-ass coat and these crazy warm gloves. You know who you are. :)
A couple days ago I was leaving work wearing this coat, and one of the girls said, "Carhartt? Way to go, farmboy." And I was like, "Laugh if you want to, but one day I'm going to be warm and you're not." I think today is that day. (She was wearing Uggs at the time, and I thought about making a joke about Trixies, but thought better of it. Besides, they do look warm.)

He's not a construction/maintenance/building engineer. Student lab only. I would be less irritated by he's listening to headphones and so has the ringer turned WAY UP so he can hear it when it rings. Which is kind of mind boggling.
But it's all pointless because a whole fucking gaggle of undergrads working on some ding dong group project have descended are are sitting next to me blahblahblahing about some business school bullshit.
I just feel so old sometimes - like it's some sort of monumentally old-fashioned concept that people might like a quiet environment for studying and anyone under 25 has evolved beyond that needs thanks to early exposure to frenetic TV programming while doing homework.
Anyway, I'm considering the murderous blind rage option. I'll let you know.

There is a limited amount/type of studying I can do with certain media distractions. For example, I can outline with sports on TV for example, because outlining doesn't require as much concentration and I am only marginalyl interested in sports. Also, I have learned to study with music out of self god damn defense but it has to be fairly smooth. But I cannot read law talking stuff with distractions - it's to fucking lame/boring/difficult.
I find intelligible live human talking and random loud noises (AS FOUND IN THE COMPUTER LAB RIGHT NOW) the most distracting.

Speaking of Bob Seger, though, I was at my cousin's house for a family dinner a few weeks ago, and my mom was talking about how great the iTunes Store is ... "Except the other day," she said, "I was trying to find some music by Bob Seger ... for a friend." She didn't actually mean to pause like that -- it was in fact for a friend (she claimed not to have ever heard of Bob Seger before) -- but I can guarantee you there was much ribbing.
I told her that she was probably misspelling his name, that it's just one E, not two like Pete.

I wish I'd driven around with my mom listening to AM Gold! But I was probably a born a couple years too late. My mom did listen to smooth-jazz radio (WNUA) in the late '80s, though, so I'm familiar with Double's "Captain of Your Heart" and Donald Fagen's "New Frontier" and Go West's "What You Won't Do for Love" and the collected works of Sade.

I nearly did this as well. I finally got my license in the mail yesterday after my speeding ticket last month, and I was thinking "Hmmm, I wonder when my hearing is for the parking ticket ... oh shit, I think it's this week."
Also, dammit, I love Christmas, or at least the tree/music/hot drinks/decoration aspect of it
My favorite part of Christmas was always Christmas Eve, when we went to church and then came home and my dad made a special dinner (like Moroccan stew or linguini w/scallops or fondue) and then we'd sit around the tree with coffee and homemade cookies, and Mark and I would exchange presents, and then we'd get to unwrap just one present from our parents, and we'd listen to Mel Torme's Christmas album. Also the lights in the living room were dim so the tree-lights could glow.

This is where you can start ignoring me...
I HATE HATE HATE my coworker Hemroid. I hope a reindeer sticks his antlers up her ass. My boss asked me if I knew where she kept a particular file. I looked for it and didn't see it. So he asked me to call her and ask her where it is. So I did (she's at the jobsite and at home today). She said, 'There are a few of those papers in this file, some over here, some over here... I've never kept track of that account.' So I pull this, that, and the other file and give them all to my boss who is standing behind me waiting. I say, everything is in here but it's completely random. If you like, I can call the bank and get everything from them together. He says, I might have you do that, but for now let me see what I can find in here. I scurry away.
Anyway, she just called and asked me which months were missing from the statements. I said, I have no idea. I just gave him everything. She's like WHAT?! You didn't pull out the statements from the other files?! Me - No. I just gave him everything to go through and offered to contact the bank. She - Well, you SHOULD have pulled them out. You really should. Now he's going to be upset with me for not having it all in one place!
I know. It's not my problem. It's her job. But also, IT'S HER JOB. Why is she going off on me for not doing a good enough job covering up her own fiasco? Grrr.

i just found out i'm going to chicago tomorrow! so i need knee-jerk, off-the-cuff, top-of-your-head suggestions for what i should do tomorrow (saturday) night. i'm staying at the hilton downtown (michigan ave), so i assume i'm fairly central, but probably all the cool stuff is further away. i'm not afraid of cabs. i won't be heading out until 10-11ish, and would prefer a cool bar/spot rather than a gig.
ideas?

There isn't much to do downtown. I'm not feeling particularly inspired so I'm just going to state the sort-of-obvious and say go to Wicker Park (northside Damen stop on the Blue Line). There's lots to do there. The Damen/Division area has bars, but it'll also be clogged with hipsters. There are a few good spots, like Small Bar, Rainbo, and Gold Star. Others will probably dispute my choices (and rightly so) but that's what springs to mind at the moment.
Keep us updated, maybe some of us will come out?

So anyway, now that I don't have to go down the street or (yikes) six blocks away like I did at my last place, laundry is no longer an event. It's just a couple of dollars that you spend during a time that you'd be hanging around at home anyway. This is the way it should be.

I got one of those stupid money saver junk mails last week and actually opened because it was either that or study and LO. Free laundry. They are coming next Thursday at 9 AM to pick up our dirties. They are dropping it off clean at 5:30 that evening. For free.
Couldn't have come at a better time, either!
Generally, I really like doing laundry. I even like going to the laundromat. But exam time ruins everything, so I used the Spin Cycle's drop off service last week and this free thing next week.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link
I've been to Boston a few times but I've never been left to my own navigatory devices. I am self-aware enough to never put myself in a situation where I have to get myself from point A to point B without assistance.
― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link
Seconded. My trouble is that I'm so used to the grid system that anything even slightly old-world messes me up bad. "What do you mean this street goes north-northwest-ish??!"

the grid system kind of freaked me out when i moved here. it was too easy, and seemed alien. i used to walk my dog for hours just trying to get lost, and never did.

i never understood how people could know what direction they were going until i realized that not all streets were once puritan-era cow paths.

Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And though they'll think us rather rude
Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood
Let's defrost, in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed, off everybody's list
To celebrate this night we found each other
Darling, let's get lost

I'd suggest that people take the el to Skokie for the Old Orchard mall, except the Yellow Line doesn't actually extend that far. Therefore, I'm sticking with my Jewish conspiracy angle.

That's the kind of directions I can understand!!! Probably because I grew up in an area built on Puritan cow paths. It wasn't until I moved here to Chicago that I even made an effort to figure out cardinal directions (hence compass).

They would, however, call streets by unofficial names. So instead of like, Route 9 they would tell you to take King Cole Farm Road or something.

if you're going from boston to nashua you wouldn't take fucking 95, that follows the coast going northeast, you'd need to take 128 to ROUTE 3, take the lowell connector then cross the bridge at 110. fuckin' morons.

most of my memories are pretty vague w/r/t the actual, REAL date in question. like, i remember chasing a coyote with my car through downtown aspen at two in the morning, stoned and sorta drunk, in the middle of a snowstorm, plowing through snowbanks and whatever, but my reference frame is "the winter after I graduated college," not Feb(?). 04, you know?
also, i'm still trapped in a student/ski bum mentality, where my "years" are actually from fall to fall, not jan 1 to dec. 31.

In other words, you can consider an example as: suppose you are a good cook and are expecting some guests at dinner. You start making dinner; you make few very very very delicious dishes (off-course, those which you already know how to make). And finally, when you are about to finish making the dishes, you ask someone (or you yourself) to check if everything is fine and there is no extra salt/chili/anything, which if is not in balance, can ruin your evening (This is what called 'TESTING').
This procedure you follow in order to make it sure that you do not serve your guests something that is not tasty! Otherwise your collar will go down and you will regret over your failure!
2. Why we go for testing?
Well, while making food, its ok to have something extra, people might understand and eat the things you made and may well appreciate your work. But this isn't the case with Software Project Development. If you fail to deliver a reliable, good and problem free software solution, you fail in your project and probably you may loose your client. This can get even worse!
You don't want your collar to go down WTF

My cell phone battery went totally kaput this morning and I went to US Cellular to get a new one and this punk ass kid behind the counter said they'd have to order one and it would take TWO WEEKS! I said UNACCEPTABLE plz expedite and he said nowai can't do it and I said let me talk to a manager and the kid gave me some gruff and I said, "Listen, you've been very helpful so far, but the more reluctant you are to let me speak with a manager the more likely I am to speak poorly of you" so out came the manager. He called another store that was THREE measely blocks away and they had the battery right there in stock so I stopped there on the way back to school and got a new battery for free right away and now my phone works.
I also went to the Christkindlmarket and got some sweet cheese pancakes and applesauce on a total whim, which is possibly the best idea I've had in weeks.
So the moral of the story is: ask for a manager and never pass up a chance for sweet cheese pancakes.

the road up to where i "work" is absolutely littered with roadside crosses.
maybe it's because roadside crosses can often be the result of yr own bad driving, while ghost bikes are generally the result of jerkoff drivers killing cyclists. AND they reflect the personality of the person who died, because it's actually their old bike that gets locked up.
also, religious v. secular?

For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.
Soy could have horrible consequences for little girls BUT EVEN WORSE it could have horrible consequences for little boys.
Won't somebody please think of the little boy children?

soy does effect hormone levels--originally it was touted as miracle food for regulating hormones, and now they've found that it's not so great as they thought, though sometimes beneficial.
from an fda bit on soy:
The recently raised concerns, however, focus on specific components of soy, such as the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein, not the whole food or intact soy protein. These chemicals, available over the counter in pills and powders, are often advertised as dietary supplements for use by women to help lessen menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.
The problem, researchers say, is that isoflavones are phytoestrogens, a weak form of estrogen that could have a drug-like effect in the body. This may be pronounced in postmenopausal women, and some studies suggest that high isoflavone levels might increase the risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer. Research data, however, are far from conclusive, and some studies show just the opposite--that under some conditions, soy may help prevent breast cancer. It is this scientific conundrum, where evidence simultaneously points to benefits and possible risks, that is causing some researchers to urge caution.

What did I miss? Let's see...
The boots sound way cute. OMG what am I going to wear Thursday? I have my xmas party in the early afternoon and then Nick's office party that night.
I always get a window seat, preferably one right behind an exit row where there's lots of extra leg room. Whenever I get tix, I pull up the diagram of the plane to see the available seats and which ones have more leg room.
I never had a slut phase. I was going to start one around the time I met Nick, but look what happened!
Ok, back to being miserable.

Put all this in a crock pot: Pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into stew-sized chunks, two medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes, one chopped onion, a can of diced tomatoes, frozen corn... Maybe something else but I can't remember. The spices were salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, nutmeg and I added a dash of pumpkin pie spice b/c we were out of cinnamon.
I'm not sure how right that is, but I'm sure you get the idea and can take it from there.

Hi, guys. It's Sarah.
I'm glad for your heat, Kevin. I don't understand the website blocking. Is there just one person in charge of picking out websites to block all day? Do your coworkers ever complain about it?
I feel totally out of it today, but at least I don't feel as much pain. Also, I threw on some clothes to do some laundry downstairs and I just realized how totally awesome I must look. Consider:* tennis shoes, no socks (but with orthodix!!)* black slip, hanging out over* pink gym pants* covered on top by green t-shirt= AWESOME
Now it's back to playing Sudoku on the couch and moaning whenever one of the kitties breaks something.

Hi.
We played a show in Milwaukee last night. It was the worst monitor mix I've ever heard. Actually, the balance was fine. But dude did not know how to deal with my keyboard -- there was no low end whatsover. High notes were screechy and loud, low ones were completely inaudible. Makes me wonder if I should get an amp instead of going direct. Other than that, show was okay. Got home at 2 AM and am exhausted today.

Also, could you tell the keyboards sounded off on stage or did someone out in the audience tell you that later?
It was the on-stage monitors. No one in the audience said anything, and we did have a couple of fans who made the drive from Chicago to see us (because they're also big J.E. fans) so it might have been totally fine out there -- but it was hugely disconcerting on stage. Also, it was a seated crowd that was there to see another band, so it was hard not to feel a little uncomfortable, anyway. I looked down a lot.

And think of it this way: last year I spent only a little more on a nice piece of jewelry for my gf and things went to shit shortly afterward. At least this way if that happens you'll have gotten an excellent meal out of it!

Returning from Michigan I usu. stop at the Gas City somewhere by a huge fireworks store just before the I-90 toll road starts. Or, failing that, I will get off at Exit 0 on the toll road (the stop where Jenny, Jeff and I stopped when we moved here--a smelly place).
Tonight I stopped for gas at S. Chicago Ave at 73rd. There was no return ramp that I could find. So this is what I did.

I was just perusing earlier posts and I've got a couple of things to say:
- (Cake >>> Cookies >> Cobbler) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pie. And any and all of those make fudge seem as apealling as a turd out of a bleeding tumorous colon.
- I am not very good at parallel parking anymore. It takes me a couple of tries. Courtney reminded me of how it is unnecessary in NC and that in her 2 years in Charlotte she never once had to parallel park. (This reminds me of the World's Worst Drivers clip on Arrest'd Development where Lucille Bluth pulls into a parallel spot perpendicularly, gets out, and feeds the meter.)

My favorite thing right now is Ricardo Villalobos. I've got everything he's released this year that I can find, and then some. Minima-tastic. I'm surprised to find I like this stuff as much as I do. I woulda figured myself for a more melodic guy. But hypnosis? Delicious.

Also I met a boy who is cute and stuff and he actually has returned my phone calls. But, diary, I'm worried. Am I repeating past mistakes? If I get serious with him, then the answer is "Absolutely, positively, fer sure." See, Diary, he is a party kid--even at 34--and he reminds me of my last LTR in his proclivities. But he's cute, short, fun to hang out with, sexually compatible and I have to tell you that I'm tired of having either one-night-stands or nothing at all.
Is it really possible (for me) to *date* someone? Can I avoid "falling for" this guy?

Anyway, I'm only allowing myself to be mildly pleased that I have someone who I could potentially fuck more than once and who enjoys a little afterglow.
I want to tell you how I met him, but it's a long story. Highlights:
--Went out with Courtney and drank 2 bottles of wine (Wed b4 TT)--Walked home, stopped at Crew for fried zucchini and a beer, and to show my very best behavior--Went to Clark's. While 2 guys came in and one walked from the front door and right up to me without even taking his hat off and said, "Hi! How's it going?" --I thought I had either met him when really drunk or hooked up with him, so I was cautious decided to act cocky and said, "I'd be a lot better if you bought me a drink." --We did not know each other.--He bought me a beer.--We now know each other.

So earlier, Dobbler was underfoot as usual, and I stepped on her tail. Happens every now and then with a cat who's always underfoot. So she made that "you hurt me!" sound, and Acker comes CHARGING out of whatever room she was in and ATTACKING me. Like, very much on the offense. She was protecting the young'uns! I'd never seen her do this.
Usually what I do after I step on my kitty is to go make amends, pick her up and talk sweet to her and rub her belly. Acker was having none of it. She wouldn't let me get near my cat. She would stand between us and hiss and swipe. VERY defensive. It was an hour at least, long after Dobbler had forgotten, that Acker would let me near her.
I don't know... it was kinda neat. This is a side of this normally randomly evil cat that I'd never seen before.

The laundry service is doing a promotion in our zip code - http://www.mud-room.com/. I'm guessing that it's a real drug dealer kind of move - get you hooked when it's free and then charge you $1.50 a pound for it.
Although, I think it's very smart. I usually have the time and the inclination to do the laundry myself. I like doing laundry! But when we're really super busy, I will drop it off. That has happened twice in our lives and we look at it as a necessary splurge, like taking a cab when it's pouring down rain and the train is broken far away from work. Now that I know that this place is trustworthy and efficient and reliable, I will be more likely to call on them for that necessary splurge in the future. It's more expensive, but then come here and get the shit so there's definitely value added there.

1) i made jambalaya with chicken andouille and shirmps instead of the soup, a good idea since i used stuff that was sitting in the fridge and didn't have to buy anything extra
2) my ethiopian student brought food THANK YOU
3) i brought some music for the party, including several ethiopiques selections and my student, B, said that she likes that music, but a. it's popular among "old people" b. "old people" like to dance to it at weddings
4) which leads me to believe that it's a bit like our Motown -- so the next time you feel all hip and worldly listening to your ethiopiques, realize that you are basically jamming to "My Girl". i will try to remember this as well.

Pros: More time. Less stress. Good networking opportunities through worker justice endeavors.
Cons: Minuscule possibility that a miracle will occur and my current firm will decide to hire me after graduation. I will miss my coworkers.
Money is not an issue. What do I do????

Jenny-- look into how things are in worker justice land before you go. The new director of Chicago |interfaith (her name is Breez3r) is supposedly not very pleasant to work with. Have you thought about volunteering at National |WJ? I don't know. It makes me sad that things always have to change. I liked how it was when we first started there and Jose was the head of the Chicago center.
― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 15 December 2006 03:44 (seventeen years ago) link
I've pretty much made up my mind. The only thing that will change it is if my boss tells me that I can have a job after graduation if I stick around. Note: I really actually very much like my job, so this isn't a frantic exit from a crappy situation. It's just not working with my schedule.

Hey. My appetite is gone. It's amazing. A miracle. I can NOT believe it. I am simply not hungry, and when I am and I eat, I barely get started before I'm stuffed. This is the fucking best thing that's ever happened to me.
Some of you may remember that I used to eat a 1/2 lb. burger and fries and still go foraging from other people's plates. Now I can barely eat 1/2 of the burger and a few fries. This has been going on for more than a week. Today I was hungry and ate a small piece of bread at work and it ruined my appetite for lunch. And I had only had an apple for breakfast, and that only b/c I thought I should.
I think it's stress because of my dad's health, etc, but normally that would make me pig out. Let's hope this continues.

So here's the story about how Sayjal and the movie.
So once upon a time Heidi told me about these auditions for this indy movie she was helping cast and so I went and they thought I was funny and cast me and I shot it last summer. The director was kind of weird and they kind of swindled me since she (the director) told me I was going to get paid but I ain't seen no check yet... I've never seen the finished product but I think Heidi is planning on trying to go to the premiere in LA in Feb, apparently it got accepted to some sort of big deal (but not so big deal that I can remember the name) film festival...I'm not sure the details. I'm only in it for like 5 minutes but it's the funniest 5 minutes of the movie I'm sure.

I can't stop watching it. The "Oh" gets me every time.
Tonight at work, the unthinkable happened. It was something straight out of a serving nightmare, though I have never experienced this particular scenario in an actual waiter nightmare. Anyway, I gave a guest another guest's credit card. And he left with it. I have never done anything like that before. Earlier in the week a bartender did the same thing.

None. The guy was the father of a regular bar guest--a really nice girl from from the building, Le0 Burne77 I think. On one hand a mitigating factor, on the other hand something that made it so much worse! He called and cancelled his card. The manager slapped his forhead and I made myself scarce.
And then tonight was so. fuuucking. bad. We had a gross "Detroit ghetto" party of 25 who insisted on seperate checks-- which we simply never ever ever do. They told the manager that I had agreed to this and he fucking capitulated. I had to ignore stop taking tables, and spend 45 minutes processing their checks (for a fucking lousy $800 for 25 people) while one guy kept interrupting and harping because their limo had been waiting outside the whole time.
Anyway, I felt like I was back at Ganache and I had a very shitty night, with even shittier money.
I no longer want to be a waiter at all, but for fuck's sake, if I am, I'm supposed to be in a "professional" setting here and I would like to have some of the perks.

I am 100% sure that I saw the name "Bloody Dick Point" on a map of Montana when I was in my teens. It was in the SW part of the state. I can't find it now.
I wonder if it is one of those intentional "mistakes" that cartographers use to protect their maps from plagiarism?

And no Jesse, I haven't read Prep, but your enthusiastic recommendation makes me want to borrow it from Kr now.
I liked The Rules of Attraction. The best part was a fleeting reference to The Secret History, which didn't even come out until five years later. (Bret Easton Ellis and Donna Tartt were friends at Bennington.) But I have a high tolerance for narratives about people being young and foolish.

So I almost got shot last night. I was standing in a bus shelter at the corner of Fulton and Damen around 9:30. I heard a little pop no louder than a firecracker from a passing car, and the middle of the three plexiglass panels at the back of the shelter shattered in a fraction of a second.
― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link
My first thought was whether the car - red, something like a Jeep Cherokee - would come back around. Second thought was whether to get off of Damen (no cabs or anything nearby), but Fulton is nothing but loading docks and chainlink fences, nowhere to go really.After five or 10 minutes a cab finally came by. The meter in the cab wasn't working, the driver starts doing all different kinds of math, figuring out rates at a quarter-mile and how many blocks I wanted to go, and I didn't want to listen anymore, just got out on Damen a block or two north of North and gave him a ten. Tried calling two of my oldest and closest friends, Geoff and Sarah G., who were on the phone with each other so didn't pick up until I called back a few times. Geoff and I went to the Beat Kitchen, and I had a big plate of gumbo and a glass of Makers Mark and ice. There was what looked like a company holiday party going on in the back room, with a stage full of people singing some big finale. In the front bar, surf and Chet Atkins versions of Christmas songs. Closing up the tab, the bartender said my eyes looked normal again.The good thing is this. On the way home, I was thinking about if the bullet had hit me, and thinking about if that had been the end. And I felt good about choices I had made and what I had done yesterday, last week, all this year, and more (something I don't always feel day by day). For one, I had just been auditioning actors - I'm directing this obscure, tough-to-get-a-handle-on short play - and had a great time working with the actors on solving the play, and it was an engaging productive fun time. After auditioning 50 actors for my play and others, the casting director herself offered to read the scene, and she did great work and got the part. A good moment, and a good story. And that's why I was down near Damen and Fulton to begin with - so if I'd gone, it would've been while on the job doing what I love.Thought about a lot of good conversations and good times over the past day, month, year; thought about the good work done; felt good about the life I've lead, and glad still to be here.

You know what else?? At 6 this morning I was startled out of my sleep by the sound of my dustbuster running in the bathroom (where it hangs on the wall, unused since the week I returned from NO). It was hanging there, running, but with the switch set to "OFF." I left it on the base but flicked the switch to the "ON" position, and back to "OFF" and I haven't heard from it since. Kind of weird, huh?

xpost - It totally is!!! When I was an undergrad back in the day I had a motherfucking typewriter, the kind with the little screen where you'd type one line at a time and then press enter and it would type it on the page. We had computer labs but only one really rich kid in my dorm had a laptop. We all got email my senior year but I couldn't figure out how to work it because it was Pine or some shit. Now I am in classes that have affiliated discussion boards. For discussing.

I got my family Christmas cards last night. The annual family letters were depressing. The only 'godsend' was that no one mentioned Christ's blood this year. They must have just forgotten.
One family's letters always begin with something like, "It has been another trying year for our family, full of challenges and sadness, but the Lord is with us still." The other family writes things like, "We are so blessed that both of our sons are Christians! And we are doubly blessed that they have found wonderful, loving Christian wives! The Lord provideth!..."

I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUSE.
A kid sees her mother kissing and tickling Father Christmas. The kid's father must be resigned to being a cuckold or have a strange sense of humor if he would have "a laugh" about seeing his getting cozy with a fat bearded man underneath the mistletoe.
RUDOLPHThis song has always bugged the shit out of me. A reindeer is born looking different from his peers, they reject him because of it and the big man in charge condones it all. But suddenly he comes in handy and everyone changes their minds and Rudolph is all, "Yes, Masssa, I'd a-luv tah guide yall's sleigh tonight!"
I heard a version at work that had a verse that said something about, "Rudolph said, 'No! I ain't havin' none of this!'"
LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
My favorite Xmas song, when it's done very traditionally and simply. The lines "I played my best for him...I played my drum for him" brings tears to my eyes. Not that that's hard or anything, but still. It's moving for me to imagine the LDB putting doing the very best he can and being all like a little toddler saying "I played my drum for him!"
CAROL OF THE BELLS
Love it. I don't know if I'm stating it correctly, but it's all verses I think. There is no chorus, but there is a lot of repition in the sounds until the really great words at the end
"Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,On on they send,on without end,their joyful tone to every homeDong Ding dong ding, dong Bong."
AVE MARIA
I put this on my iPod sometimes at all times of the year. It's just plain good.

What's freaks me out about that song is that the kid is traumatized by seeing his mom make out with who he thinks is another man, and yet... he doesn't sound upset enough.
That's what I was getting at. (The renditions I've heard have been females singing, and one sounds like Baby Jane at her most deranged.)
Jenny, re-read what I said, re-engage the old thinker for a minute, and then STFU.

Smells I like:
Dirtcoconutthe smell of clean, fresh sweatrain
My dumb ex hated the smell of rain, something that I could never understand. How can you actually HATE that smell? He too was not a fan of sunny days, but only because he was too fabulous to be out during sunlit hours. He had blackout curtains on his windows and would put of blankets on my windows when he stayed over. He even tacked up a quilt over the bathroom skylight. Then he and his DJ friends would hang out talking about "I just don't understand how anyone can work a day job" like most people would say "I don't understand how anyone can sell heroin to middleschoolers."

To continue a related email convo w/ Amanda on ILX - I tried wearing it to see if it worked magic with my body chemistry but no go. I seem to do best with spicy, foody smells or things that other people say smell like old lady perfume (my favorite mass market perfume EVER is Cinnabar by Este Lauder). Superduper florals might smell fine but they give me a headache. Super sweet smells just smell like I spilled something on myself.
The White Rabbit oil, without a doubt, is my favorite smell. It smells like food and spice and powdery old ladies all at once.
In summation, I also want to buy samples. Then we can have a smellin' party!
Also: Amanda, I am glad you stopped your migraine. I cannot even imagine how dreadful that would be, especially when you have to do other things like talk to people or breathe.
Also: HS, we're flying today and will heed your warning! Like I need any prompting to leave work early.

Hey, so we went to Chicago Diner last night. The service was fine (I think we got lucky) and the food was good. We ordered chips and guac as an app but it was RAW chips and guac - they made the chips by dolloping corn goo onto a tray and dehydrating it. They tasted fine, but then we finished those so she brought us some regular fried corn chips and it was like, "OH that's what this is supposed to taste like!"
Anyway, I think being a raw foodist would be very depressing.

OK DAN MARTIN EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO ME. I thought "2x" was like saying "me too" and "4x" was like saying "me four," as in two other people have already agreed with the original poster. But now you guys are using #x or x# to mean an amplification of the original point, like you agree with it 1000 or 2000 times more than the original poster? Or is it like "yes, yes, a thousand times yes"?

Hey Kevin, do you want to hang out with me and Sayjal (the elf)? She's fun and sometimes I am too, so you're chances of having fun would be pretty good. We are hanging out on Sunday, probably dividing our time between food, booze and going to movies. I don't know what is happening on the 25th. I hope something, or I'll be saaaaaad. Wow. I am going to be sad.

I will be the first to work tomorrow, I know, because I can actually handle my liquor. My coworkers went out and got fucking TRASHED tonight. But not me. Oh no. I don't get trashed. No sir.

There's a coat of yours that's hanging in Julia's closet. It's not lost! I can bring it over tomorrow if you have time. Even if you don't, I can leave it outside the door. It's very warm.
Learn to manage my Gap parka and then put that on your resume.
Hey, eat me. I'm not trying to screw you, Jesse. I would love nothing more than to gie you back everything that belongs to you. I'm just poorly organized, is all. Did you think I meant to keep it? I don't even wear it. I wore it once, and left it in Julia's closet, and then forgot it existed. Which does not make me Mr. Responsibility, but I'm not trying to dick you out of a coat, either.

We can form a fat cat owners group, Jesse.
This morning hasn't been the greatest for me. My mom called me this morning. The line was horribly scratchy. That's been happening whenever we have any rain, or even moisture for that matter. So it was really hard for us to hear each other. But the long and short of it is that she was all ready to go pick me up from the airport but needed to know which one and what time and why hadn't I given her this information yet? So I say, um, mom, I've told you this a million times, but I'm taking the TRAIN. We won't be there until 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. And she was like, "WHAT?! YOU WON'T BE HERE UNTIL TOMORROW?!" Whoopsies.
Maybe she'll at least be calmed down by then.

Oh, but it goes so much deeper than that. I was a fool before. I did not know enough to recognize that Motorhead is rock. They are the pinnacle and the nascent form all at once.
Christgau has a clear thought for once:
The stuff is so pure it's almost rarefied: no operatic declamations, no schlocky guitaristics, no satanism or medievalism or sci-fi or sexist s&m. Just aggression, violence, noise.

So I went to four of these furniture stores, and saw a lot of overstuffed things and a lot of grandmotherly things and a lot of just plain bullshit. It's a lot like looking for records in the dollar bin. But then this one couch jumped out at me. There was a soft glow behind it, and angels sang. I knew it was meant for me. It's a chocolate brown number with no arms and tapered and angled steel legs.
This is the conversation I had with the salesman:
Me: "I really like this one."
Him: "That's... yeah that one's nice too. It's very retro." [emphasis his]
Me: "I'll take it."
Him: "You're some kind of artist, aren't you?"
Me (flattered): "I'm a designer."
Him: "I could tell by your glasses."
So I have an artist couch, apparently. It will be delivered tomorrow.

The best part is their specials. There's the early bird special--seated before 6, you get an entree, soup, and salad for $10.95. The special that I'm reeeealy excited about is all-you-can-eat Alaskan KING crab legs for $29.95 on Tuesdays.
Tonight I had the Simon and Garfunkle tilapia, seasoned with--you can probably guess--parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, broiled (I think), and served with string beans and roasted red potatoes.
They have a small but respectable wine list. And you can order breakfast all day.

Last night Sayjal and I went to Tweet for brunch, then had a salty dog at Big Chicks while I filled out a job application. After that we saw The Queen (good) then went, had Chinese in Chinatown, and returned to Big Chicks.
Sayjal had to work today so she left me and my other brown friend Sheila joined us. We had only had a couple sips of our beer before a drunk man told Sheila and me that we were "beautiful, gorgeous people," and that he was from the Lower East Side and not since he was last there to had he seen such good-looking people. Strangely, he correctly guessed that she was Guatmalen and I was Mexican. He tried to buy us a drink, but we turned him down, to which he responded, "I'm really sorry to bother you but it's just that you're both so beautiful that I'd like to penetrate you both."

After watching episodes of Ali G. on HBO on demand I thought I would cringe through the whole thing, but instead I busted a gut. I loved it the mix of candid and scripted material.

The Good Sheperd (slow, long, boring, just like espionage work is? I liked it anyway)
Oleanna (I'm not sure but I think I really liked this)

2000-2001: got digital cable (was sort of living with a sig. other), enjoyed it.
2002: moved, broke up with S.O. New house had cable still running. Hardly watched it at all ever.
2003: Ice storm knocks down cable. Jesse hauls out ladder and reconnects cable (while wearing yellow Playtex gloves to protect me from the power lines)--still doesn't watch it.
2003-early 2006: No cable.
20006: Get cable in early spring. Go to New Orleans. Kenan watches cable for me. Return from NO, live with Courtney, watch cable. Courtney leaves, I stop watching TV again.
TV is a social activity for me.

"Why, even if he had, would the sound still have sucked? Why are the rooms we're playing so ill-suited to our show? Why don't they have mikes? Why can't anybody do anything?" I'm harshing everyone's post-show mellow. "Tell me something. You have a group like the Waco Brothers. They do one thing, and it's loud. They don't accommodate the rooms the way we do, turning themselves into a folk act for a folkie room, changing to a bar band in a bar, doing old-folks music when they're booked in bingo tents. What the hell do they do when they get booked in places like we've been playing?"
"They do what they do then they never return," says Lorne. "Nobody changes their show night by night the way we do."

Michael responds, "Oh, you think they'll go right for the pants, huh?" While I think GOB's response is hilarious, I don't get why he spazzes out.

I was on the bus tonight next to 2 aging gay men whose conversation about the good old gay days in Chicago was enough to make me pause my iPod. "Awww...Man's Country...I remember when Charlie opened that place up--I was the 2nd man in line--well, actually probably 10th, but still. We should go to Man's Country and take the steam again."

I ended up at Simon's last night, where the glögg was not as good as I remembered it (or perhaps just not as good, or strong, as the glögg we get at work), but I was able to relax a bit. This morning I'm feeling jittery again, though. Fuck.

Egghead was hurt by a December of 2000 revelation that hackers had accessed its systems and potentially compromised customer credit card data. The company filed for bankruptcy in August of 2001. After a deal to sell the company to Fry's Electronics for $10 million fell through, its assets were acquired by Amazon.com for $6.1 million instead.
Among other things, Egghead's customers could voluntarily and freely sign up for a Que Card, a card that would guarantee a slightly reduced price on certain items.

I echo Nick's sentiment that we should get together and hang out sometime soon. I don't have NYE plans either but I may be heading over to Detroit. If not, though, I'm up for anything.

Yes to getting together. I understand EZ and Cuntstanza are playing an early show at the Beat Kitchen on Saturday. I'd really like to go to that - a 5 pm show is totally my old lady speed! Maybe we could all do that?
We don't have NYE plans either. If I could have all my dearest wishes come true, I would want to find an uncrowded low key bar where we could all hang out and drink beer and listen to a juke box (isn't that what I always want to do though?). Chillin' with pals at home would be cool, too. I'm into that nowadays. Old lady thing again, I guess.
Three cheers for getting married on even days in June! Although I am like Kelsey - I wished we could have gotten married in October or November. Did you know: January is the least popular month for weddings?

The squash risotto turned out pretty well, I think. I wouldn't make it every day because it's a little time consuming (and involves more delicious butter and cheese than I prefer to eat regularly) but it's a great, relatively easy special occasional dinner.
I'm excited because we have leftover champaign and leftover Italian bread and that can only mean one thing: mimosas and French toast for NYD brunch. Now I just have to wait for Jeff to wake up.

It took me a long time to figure out that the reason that rule works is because if you start putting beer on top of liquor, you're going to have to go to bed soon.

* The Descent and A Scanner Darkly = both worth watching, I'd say. Neither is genius, but both were entertaining and successful at what they were trying to achieve (A Scanner Darkly = trippiness, The Descent = scariness).
* Driving to J&J's house = a bad idea. I don't know why I did this, even after Jenny told me not to. Nowhere to park. Ended up parking at Damen and Addison and taking a taxi over.
* Taking a cab at 1:30 A.M. on New Year's Day = fun. Lots of stupid drunk people standing in the street trying to hail your cab even though you're already in it.

NYE was fun, but we were sharing the bar (it was split pretty evenly between our group and another), and so it didn't seem appropriate to hijack the sound system, even though I'd put in a good couple hours putting together a dance playlist. I was promised that we'd go back to our usual style next year.
Drinks: about four gin and tonics, and a couple of Harps.

New Year's - Robbie Fulks was pretty great. It was incredible, those guys basically wrote a whole musical just for the NYE show. Comedy, satire, top 10 pop songs revue, props (!), etc. Then welsh rarebit at 3van's house, drunken acoustic jam session (pennywhistle/guitar/hand drums), bed at 6 am. I had big plans to have everyone over for brunch but I had a pretty epic hangover. The works.

I would guess that people could defend SN by saying it was "intelligent" etc, so I would think it doesn't fit into the generally-accepted canon of Bad TV. But it defines bad entertainment for me.
― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link
it did a really good job of drawing out complex and indidvidual relationships between each of its characters and everybody else. it drew a social picture really well and remained more or less faithful to it. I admit, though, that I dig super-mannered dialogue and I get why many people don't.

xpost--I haven't seen SN since '01 so my critique (beyond "hated it") will be pretty flimsy, but I suppose I didn't like the way it dealt with relationships because it used really broad strokes and the writers cared more about hearing their own voices than giving the characters' their own. Yeh, I think that covers it-- Goodbye Girl and SN are like watching a puppet show.

agree to disagree.

anyone on a Sorkin show speaks Sorkin, so that's fair. I do think there were character-appropriate variations in Sports Night, but, like I said, I do get why people dislike his stuff. I get it a lot better after latter-day West Wing and fucking Studio 60.

I like the trappings of a story like this because it does have to stay interesting and suspenseful. Stephen King's at his best when he pulls this off - there's Misery, and then he also has two novels that only have a single character.
The trouble with this austerity is that Dan and Jordan's ideas sound good.

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link
And only one of them would look the same on the plate as it did before. That's why seabugs are weird.
I like Jordan's idea of ignoring plane crashes, etc. You could do another take on 9/11, one showing America's complacency or somesuch.

Off topic: What is it called when in the middle of a novel, there's another smaller story that's related to the larger story but isn't the main focus of it? The only example I can think of is the one that prompted me to ask the question - in All the King's Men, Jack Burden tells the story of Cass Mastern, which is long and relevant but also a separate story as far as tone, time, place, etc. goes.

But when real-life banality is applied to art, it automatically becomes more interesting because a) we're not used to seeing banality in art: it becomes the exception rather than the rule, and b) art has the power to make the banal transcendent.
ideally has the same what's-going-on-here? pleasure of eavesdropping.
Bingo. There's an intimate, voyeuristic thrill to it. It feels visceral, somehow.

Using that poetry analogy, I think what we're talking about is more of finding the profound in daily life than in being deliberately boring - it's more like Vermeer and Rembrandt painting daily life in Holland (ho hum) instead of the great moments in religious history.
― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link
This is a very good question, and the best answer that I can give is that I experience both at the same time, or go back and forth: the pleasure is both in the visceral voyeuristic thrill and the rational appreciation for the uncanniness of the vérité style. (I'm serious, I have like a whole chapter in my senior project about this where I talk about Raymond Carver and Mike Leigh.)

I just saw this movie version of his play Edmond on New Years Eve, with WH Macy and Julia Stiles and others, and since someone else directed it the dialogue is less distracting than usually and it's easier to get caught up in the characters instead of thinking about the author. (It's really much better than I'd expected - and a few of the scenes are absolutely perfect as individual scenes.)
xpost- One dramamtic trick, though, Jenny, is to hide the drama in a banal situation. Like - the guy on the cell phone could be talking to the surgeon who is operating on his daughter in an hour - that's dramatic. Or he could be talking with the guy fixing the stucco on his house, and somehow from that "ordinary" conversation, something profound about the guy's life happens. If he doesn't change by the end, that's bad drama - but sometimes our lives change dramatically from a moment that seemed boring.

There are different levels of Orthodoxy, obv. The OJ talked about the teachings of a particular rabbi once that slotted him into a particular sect but I can't remember which one it was.

Everyone I've met who likes Scrubs is weirdly proud that they like it. They're always saying, "You know what's a good show? Scrubs. I know, you might not realize it, but that shit's funny." Of course, I haven't heard anyone say this since 2003, so I don't know if there'd be any post-Garden State backpedaling these days.

Scurbs reminds me of Office Space. I saw both of them for the first time in the company of a superfan. They both have the nice guy in the lead who's having little crises of masculinity and conformity.

I dunno, I don't find anyone on GA hott except Katherine Heigl, and I'm happy to admit that probably 2/3 of the characters are "types" (cf "the Nazi", the beautiful smart girl, etc), but they're well played and I like their interactions with each other.

Well, I just got an email from the President saying that he's "happy to announce" that the new head of IT would be his sister (!) and that the CIO isn't leaving after all. I'm crushed. Things won't just be the same, they'll be more the same than ever before. I'm seriously depressed about this. I don't want to have to look for another job. But this little development means no new position, no raises, nothing but more and more being squeezed out. This fucking sucks.

For big beer (and of course, wine) selection I like http://www.samswine.com/Main.aspx -- closer to my house, VAS Foremost liquor actually has a lot of good Belgians and craft brews.
I will go anywhere for TT, just don't make me decide. Extra travel time may be needed, and I may bring a friend.
Otto, you ought to know better than to trifle with the VA Office of Internet Time-Wasting Prevention Department, Northern Illinois Division. We see all, we know all.
The dude from Scrubs ruins that show, I don't care how funny it supposedly is. He sucks so hard. The Office, OZ, C.Y.E., and Mr. Show are all grebtx1000. Well, only the first 4.5 seasons of OZ, really.
